Just in time for Oregon Invasive Weed Awareness Week… the new 2015 Oregon Noxious Weed list!
Oregon State Weed Board
approved the updates to the 2015 Oregon Noxious Weed list. Below is a
summary of the changes-
“A” List

Also changes have been
made to the Noxious Weed list for the T listed weeds. T species are now listed directly on the A or B listed weed
pages. T listed weeds no longer have their own list. Check out our
new list http://www.oregon.gov/ODA/shared/Documents/Publications/Weeds/NoxiousWeedPolicyClassification.pdf
A lot of work as gone
into updating the Weed Distribution Maps for 2015, and all profiles have been
added for all listed weeds. (Be patient with the profile list as some are slow
to load as we work thru compressing the profiles.)
Our new Noxious Weed
Profiles are listed alphabetically. If you want to change the view by A
or B listed weeds you can click on Designation and you will get a drop down
menu to filter list by just A or B listed weeds. You can click on the
profile name in blue for a colror pdf of each listed weed. Check it out
at -http://www.oregon.gov/ODA/programs/Weeds/OregonNoxiousWeeds/Pages/AboutOregonWeeds.aspx.
The database is a huge
project that we are working on finding better ways to display
the information with our limited state templates.
Enjoy your new
information and if you have any questions or comments send them my way.
Happy Oregon Invasive
Weed Awareness Week!
